There is hereby established an "Orange Drug and Alcohol Action Committee"
(ODAAC) which shall replace and supersede any heretofore similar ad hoc committee
or committees. Said Committee will be responsible for providing the Town of
Orange with programs that emphasize drug and alcohol abuse prevention, awareness,
education, advocacy, and promotion of healthy lifestyle activities. In recognition
of the regional nature of some of these activities, and the activities provided
by the Amity Regional School District, such programs will also be offered
to the residents of the Towns of Bethany and Woodbridge, where applicable.

There shall be an Orange Drug and Alcohol Action Committee Coordinator
who shall carry out the day-to-day operations of ODAAC and represent ODAAC
and the Town of Orange in any matters that would meet the objectives of this
chapter. The responsibilities of the Coordinator shall include but are not
limited to:

ODAAC shall consist of seven members appointed by the First Selectman
in accordance with Section 4.4, Section 6.90, and Section 10.3 of the Orange
Town Charter. All members shall be appointed following adoption of this chapter.
Three members will have terms that expire 30 days after the biennial election
in 2001 and four members will have terms that expire 30 days after the biennial
election in 2003. As such terms expire, members will be appointed or reappointed
for terms of four years. Additionally, there may be appointed to an advisory
committee of ODAAC as many resource individuals who either reside or who are
employed in Orange, Bethany, or Woodbridge as the ODAAC Coordinator deems
necessary to assist ODAAC in its overall operation.
